Knicks Crash LeBron’s Homecoming Party

King James’ Thursday night return to Cleveland was wet-blanketed by New York’s Carmelo Anthony and his Knicks. In the down-to-the-wire 95-90 Cavaliers loss, two-time champ James — who left his native Cleveland for Miami in 2010 — was shooting cold, scoring 17 to Anthony’s 25 and committing eight turnovers. Although slipping at the start line was not part of the plan, with young stars Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving at LeBron’s side, the Cavs are still favorites with 81 games to go.
